"Additionally, the Finnish government’s stricter national adaptation of EU directives concerning areas such as waste taxation and landfill regulations is a major threat to our competitiveness. By restructuring and reorganizing our operations, we aim to secure our future competitiveness on the growing tissue and cooking paper market,” Joukio explained.

Metsa Tissue's Finnish offices are based in Espoo and Mantta.
